1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, It's Thursday, February nineteenth, twenty twenty six. Welcome

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. We're getting into off

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: season shape. It's me and your man named G Marcus Grant,

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: joined by Michael F. Florio and LaQuan Jones uh Floria.

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back from your walk in the wilderness. I mean

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: I know where you are.

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: I was when did you tell the pod? I was

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: because I.

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: Because you were in parts unknown. I didn't specify.

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the favorite place where wrestlers are from because

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: it's unknown. Yeah, what does it mean? No one knows.

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: Nobody knows from Death Valley like the Undertaker. Meanwhile, Lawan,

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: we very much know where you are. You're in New

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: Orleans right now. What are you doing in New Orleans?

15
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: So the Ace we see you like Sea Bowls this week.

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: Practices are going on this week. We're kind of just

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: trying to get these rosters right, and you know, numbers

18
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: are changing, players are being added, deleted, et cetera, et cetera.

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: But you know, right now we just know game to

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: know some of these players and can't wait to see

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: him play on Saturday.

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: Very cool, So you will be there through the weekend,

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: so you will actually get to see them. I know.

24
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: I know for a lot of these, like you know posts,

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: not postseason, these off season bowl game showcases. I know

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: for a lot of the people who go there, it's

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: about watching the practices and then everybody sort of bails

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: down the actual game happens. But yeah, you'll you'll be there,

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: so I hope you are taking notes. I hope you're

30
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: giving us some insights on you know, watch Washington. All right,

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: that's who I want listening to draft.

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: We need a d.

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: Bat, let's go, all right. Also, is our pal Emory

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: hunt down there? Because usually Emory can be seen floating

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: around at some of these events.

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 3: I don't know if he was here last year, but

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: I have not seen him yet. I'm not going to

38
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: say he's not here. I can't confirm yet, but I'm

39
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: pretty sure i run into him.

40
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: I have no knowledge. I'm going to almost guarantee that

41
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: he is there.

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: He's been here the last two years that I've been coming,

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: so he's probably boots on the ground.

44
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: He goes to every bowl game, every practice, everything you

45
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: can go to, so i'd imagine.

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: He's which is part of the reason we love having

47
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: him on during draft season because he is good to

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: pick out a couple of names that generally the consensus

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: is not talking about, and more often than not, he

50
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: has hipped us to some guys that, you know, we

51
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: were glad that we found out about after the fact.

52
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: So anyway, I wanted to start kind of prepping for

53
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: free agency because that hits in less than a month.

54
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: The new league year begins on March eleventh, So why

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: got to start prepping you talking generally just overview about position,

56
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: who's available. I will start this off by saying that

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: if you just sort of scroll through the names, it's

58
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: not a very exciting year when it comes to free agency,

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: but definitely some names of notes, and then as we

60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: go forward, start kind of breaking down the team needs.

61
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: I think starting next week we can kind of dive

62
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: into what the individual teams, what they did last year,

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: what their expectations are, and sort of some of the

64
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: things they need, so we can kind of start getting

65
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: ready for that right up until free agency hits. I

66
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: know the combine lands in there somewhere, because I think

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: I say this every year, like it's the combine is

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: interesting for I think real football scouts. I think it's

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: hard to tie it into a fantasy aspect, Yeah, because.

70
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 4: You don't see much stars or studs do anything.

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: That guy's really fast. Who couldn't use a fast guy?

72
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: You know? Like that.

73
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 5: I think it almost is a negative for fantasy, right.

74
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: Because we start hyping up players that maybe didn't shine

75
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: in college and stuff, and then, like you, you end

76
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: up kind of chasing your tail.

77
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, so that's not to say we won't

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: at least hit on it a little bit, but oh,

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: don't watch it. Don't expect us to do any really

80
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: deep in depth analysis or at least previews of the

81
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: combine it is. It is a necessary thing, but it

82
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: is not the only thing when it comes to fantasy.

83
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: Didn't have a couple of news question mark headlines that

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: popped up over the last couple of days. This one

85
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe less news, less of a question and more of

86
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: a comment sort of thing. New Ravens offensive coordinator Declan

87
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: Doyle side note, Well, you go to NFL dot com,

88
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: It says Ravens oc decland Doyle Comma twenty nine, as

89
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: though his exact age has something to do with what

90
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: the story is anyway.

91
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 5: Sounds like a screen name.

92
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that was the point that he's the same

93
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: age as Lamar Jackson. Either way, the actual story is

94
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: that he was asked about Lamar and he said, quote,

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: there's even a higher ceiling to his game, which wow.

96
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask you Florio hype trainer smoke screen

97
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: on the fact that there's still a higher level that

98
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson can go to because he's already hit a

99
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: pretty high level in his career.

100
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: Ravens fans already hate me, so I have no hesitancy

101
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: saying the smoke screen. And I'm saying that though for

102
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: two reasons. One, Lamar Jackson is already an all time great,

103
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: and he has already performed like an all time great,

104
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 2: right like in twenty twenty four he set the record

105
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: for most Fantasy points by a quarterback. He had one

106
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: of the most efficient seasons by a quarterback ever. So

107
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: saying he's gonna break the historic marks that he's kind

108
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 2: of already set is a bold call. But on top

109
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: of that, some of the Ravens weapons are starting to age,

110
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: right like Derrick Henry's getting up there, Mark Andrews is

111
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: getting up there.

112
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 5: They have needs at wide receiver.

113
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: And then I questioned the play calling a little bit

114
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: like Deckman Doyle is unproven. He could be great. I'm

115
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: not saying he's not, but we don't know what he

116
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: is right now because he has had one years in

117
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: OC as a coach ever, right, not even just in

118
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: the NFL, like since he has started coaching, and that

119
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: was last year with Ben Johnson and he wasn't calling

120
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: the plays. So you have a first time play I

121
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: actually think this is something that hasn't gotten talked about enough,

122
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: and I'm sure we're going to talk about it a

123
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: lot all summer long, but like it adds a little

124
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: volatility to the Ravens players this year, I think, because

125
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: maybe they don't miss a beat and maybe Lamar is

126
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: just that good and everyone and I think he is,

127
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: but like and everyone just doesn't miss a beat and

128
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: everything stays how it is, but a lot of changes

129
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: coming first time play caller. To me, it gives me

130
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: a little bit of hesitancy in something that I think

131
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: we need to kind of work our way through this summer.

132
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: So, I mean Floren's were it touched on the thing

133
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: that I was thinking when I kind of went through

134
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: this story, is that one you know, Lamar Jackson has

135
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: been awesome, and at this point in his career it's

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's possible that he could somehow

137
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: find another year and get even better. It's sort of

138
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: hard to imagine. But Laque to me, part of it

139
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: isn't on Lamar Jackson. It's on the guys around him, right.

140
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that at this point, you know,

141
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Zay Flowers is a nice piece, but nobody, nobody looks

142
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: at day Flowers like he's not keeping defensive coordinators up

143
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: at night. You're trying to figure out how to stop

144
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Jay Flowers. Rashan Bateman hasn't panned out to be the

145
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: guy that you know, we kind of hoped he would be.

146
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews is on the decline. Isaiah like Lean will

147
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: probably talk about this. He's a free agent, so who

148
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: knows if he comes back next year. Derrick Henry has

149
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: been great. Derreck Henry is, you know, father times catching

150
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: up to him like he does for all of us.

151
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: I don't think laquon this is necessarily a Lamar Jackson issue.

152
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: I think this is, like Floriel talked about, maybe a

153
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: personnel issue that if anything's holding Lamar Jackson back, it's

154
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: that at some point, like like we see with Josh Allen,

155
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson can't do everything like somebody else has got

156
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: to help.

157
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: Out, right exactly.

158
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: I mean you forgot, you know, the one piece, the

159
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: old retirement home wide receiver.

160
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: There, whoever he may be.

161
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: In terms of their pieces. But honestly, it's like, Okay.

162
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: I hear what you're saying. This is a smoke scream, just.

163
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: To get that out of the way, because it's just

164
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: coach talk at this one at this point, because it's

165
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: like you're unproven as a play caller. You're getting Lamar Jackson,

166
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: who is coming off not one of his greatest seasons

167
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 3: and with injuries as well. It's like, Okay, you say that,

168
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: but let's see you do that, you know. And that's

169
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: why I'm a little hesitant even going into this draft,

170
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: but just thinking like, Okay, well it was a Flowers,

171
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: he's a flex a wide receiver too at best on

172
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: a good weekend. Then who else free agents at the

173
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: tight ends. Derrick Henry Obviously he's a piece you're going

174
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: to draft. But then it's like this whole entire identity

175
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: of this offense is going to change, Like maybe they

176
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: do get an outfoot wide receiver and not just one

177
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: guy that can do big plays every now and again. Like,

178
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: it's just very questionable what they're going to be doing

179
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: this entire offseason in terms of what this offense is

180
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: going to look like. I'll tell you one thing. If

181
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: they're going to improve anything, improve Lamar in the red zone.

182
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: He was one of the worst quarterbacks in the red

183
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: zone last year, better than Jackson Dart in the games

184
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 3: that he was available.

185
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 4: So let's get some more touchdowns.

186
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: Let's see if he can get back to that form

187
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 3: of him running out into pocket being as dangerous because

188
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: ever since that his store fantasy season, he's in this

189
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: past season doesn't look like he's coming in with momentum.

190
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 5: Question for you, guys, do you worry about Lamar aging?

191
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: Because I know, like we've seen like quarterbacks are playing

192
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: well into their thirties now, right, like Matt Stafford being

193
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: a great example of that. So I think like quarterbacks

194
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: have a larger, longer career window than maybe they did

195
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: ten fifteen years ago. But with someone like Lamar, who

196
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: it's so relying on his legs, right, Like that's what

197
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: makes him so difficult to guard. He's a great passer too.

198
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 2: But to Laquan's point, like as a passer and as

199
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: a runner, last year it was his worst season maybe

200
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: since like his rookie year. And I know injuries had

201
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: a lot to do with it, but that style of

202
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: play does tend to lead to more injuries.

203
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 5: So do you worry about Lamar as he ages?

204
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: I do, I you know, I mean, I guess it's

205
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: a fair question. It hasn't entered into my thinking yet,

206
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: just because like, Lamar runs very effectively, but at least

207
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: so far, he's he's done a fairly good job of

208
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: avoiding big hits. They don't they don't use him in

209
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: a tush push or goal line kind of thing, right.

210
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that was why we love Derek Henry. We're like,

211
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna get those short yardage touchdowns because they just

212
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: they don't use Lamar the way the Bills use Josh Allen. Yeah,

213
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: so that, I mean, I think it's something that to

214
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: take into account. I will say, just personally, I haven't

215
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: really thought much about it.

216
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think we're there yet, but I think

217
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 2: maybe in a year or two, if if we see

218
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 2: some cracks, I might I might worry that.

219
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm worried now, honestly with this new offense, because honestly,

220
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: with the new play caller, he's probably gonna tell Lamar

221
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: go out there and run, you know what I mean,

222
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: Like we've seen you, you know, elevated as a passer,

223
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: do what you do best, and that may be something

224
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: that can hurt him this season, because again, last season

225
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: was riddle with injuries.

226
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: Like I chalk that up.

227
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 3: But like now we're coming in with even more question

228
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: marks about the weapons, about him, about the play calling.

229
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: There's just too much there on the plate where I'm like, yeah,

230
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna skip that one. I'm gonna go ahead and

231
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: put that on the L's List that me and Marcus

232
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 3: talked about, you know on the last episode.

233
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we decided we're gonna come up with a it's

234
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a segment at some point, the L's List,

235
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: the guys that you know what, I'm not drafted and

236
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: if I take an L, so be it.

237
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't care if you're putting on that list.

238
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 5: I'm not there yet. Oh I'm putting the Mare on

239
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 5: that list.

240
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: I'm putting he's in my top two.

241
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 5: Still, Like I feel he will.

242
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: Still be a fantasy asset for sure. But I just

243
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: don't think he's gonna have the season that we're expecting.

244
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: Like we're expecting this every single week, you know, QB

245
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: one where I think he's gonna have some lows where

246
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: it's just like we've seen it flashes of it last year.

247
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 4: We're like, all right, clearly he's not healthy.

248
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: Clearly something's changed, Clearly is not clicking, and something's working

249
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: on a consistent in every single week basis. Like, don't

250
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: get me wrong, he is still great at the position.

251
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 3: I'm just worried about how you brought up age. I'm

252
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: worried about him taking it. So, I'm worried about the injuries.

253
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: I'm worried about this new play caller. Just just too

254
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: much on that play for me to say, hey, this

255
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: guy is the second quarterback.

256
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 4: Off the board, I might I might at little hesitant

257
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 4: with that.

258
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: All right, that's uh, that's definitely that's where we're gonna

259
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: bookmark that. We're gonna put that away. We're gonna come

260
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: back to that later. We can get into it a

261
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: little bit more.

262
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: So, Josh QB one is all I heard.

263
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Josh Allen is the QB on in fantasy say that.

264
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: With a little bit of joy in your heart.

265
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 2: I'll tell you jos Josh is might god man.

266
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: I know, Josh Joshua, he mom like, but Josh, all right,

267
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: that's the homie. Take a quick break, come back a

268
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: little bit more news, including Bobby Trees hanging them up

269
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: and his place in the fantasy football history legend, legendary thing.

270
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: It'll make sense when we come back. Stick around for

271
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: more the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast Back on the show,

272
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: and a little bit of a retirement news in the

273
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: in the air right now, former Trojan, former Bill, former Ram,

274
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: Robert Woods is hanging him up after thirteen years in

275
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. So like I think we all we can

276
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: all claim a little bit of Robert Woods, right, I

277
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: mean he somehow touched all of our all all teams

278
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: that we cheer for at some point. Yeah. I saw

279
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: a lot of obviously a lot of praise for Robert

280
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: Woods in his career. Everybody sort of big up being

281
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: the nickname Bobby Trees, because that's a pretty mug name.

282
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of comments about how he was

283
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: kind of the first Sean McVay receiver, right, I mean,

284
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: they brought him in and he really kind of found

285
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: a home and found a role and became statistically more

286
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: productive there than he had been at this that point

287
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: in his career. Then you know, then obviously Cooper Cup follows.

288
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: Now we're into Poka Nakua or whatever, but Bob was

289
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: kind of the first. You know, I don't think we

290
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: have any illusions he's not an NFL Hall of Famer,

291
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: But I was always asked when some of these guys

292
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: like this retired Lacwan, I'm gonna ask you to try

293
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: to be unbiased. Is he is Robert Woods a Fantasy

294
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer?

295
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: He could be on i't really mentioned, And I think

296
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: what we think about that twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, like

297
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: when we were out there draft and like he was

298
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: in that bag of the Tyler Lockett's right, Like you

299
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: get them late in drafts.

300
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: You'd love that you got them as your flex.

301
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: They perform at a high level on a great offense,

302
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: and it's like they're underappreciated just based off their ADP.

303
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: But like Fantasy Hall of famers, like we.

304
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: Think of the Larry FitzGeralds, like we think of the

305
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: guys that were like putting the crown on like this is.

306
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 4: My wide receiver one.

307
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: But me as a Rams fan, I appreciate Robert Woods

308
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: being one of those first big moves that McVeigh did,

309
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: and when he came aboard, like him and Andrew Whitworth

310
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: were like the best signings that I think, you know,

311
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: this new era of the Rams, and like bringing over

312
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 3: Sammy Watkins, you know that was like a connection.

313
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 4: In Buffalo, which was dope after a little period of.

314
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: Time, and like one of the best Robert Wood plays

315
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: I can remember. And I actually had him on my

316
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: fantasy roster and I went to the game at MetLife

317
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: when it was against the Giants. It was that third

318
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: and thirty three, and like that was the first game

319
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: that I was able to take my wife, like me

320
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: and Sabrina first Rams game, we were at the fifty

321
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 3: yard line, great seats, that energy goes high, we blow

322
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: them out and then like that fifty four yard touchdown

323
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: was just amazing to see him do because it's like

324
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: this is who he is, bro like this is a

325
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: straight playmaker.

326
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 5: So honorable mentioned.

327
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: In the Fantasy Hall of Fame, but I can't put

328
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: him in there in the Hall of famers.

329
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: It's fair only had two thousand yard seasons.

330
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 5: Never have more than six touchdowns.

331
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's because his impact was bigger than

332
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: the actual stats.

333
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 5: I think ever showed huge locker room guy.

334
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: But also because you know, for whatever reason, it just

335
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: never it never quite worked out in Buffalo, they were

336
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: just running the ball.

337
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: That was the McCoy years, where like they didn't throw

338
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: it at all.

339
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 5: But a that's good.

340
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: Everything happens for a reason because he was one of

341
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: our best pass blocking wide receivers.

342
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: So I remember I was working at the NFL when

343
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: the trade went down and the press release that came out.

344
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of chuckled to myself that mind

345
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: you look, I you know, you know me, it's fight

346
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: on forever around here, right, but you know, score of

347
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: seeing that it wasn't you know, Robert Woods wasn't putting

348
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: up numbers the way he did in college. And I

349
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: remember the press release came out and that was the

350
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: thing they highlight he's like one of the best blocking

351
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the NFL, and I was like, thanks, man,

352
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: he really sharpened that sword. It seemed like a backhanded compliment.

353
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: You know.

354
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: It was like a day apart him and Sammy Watkins

355
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: went to the RAMS because I remember it very vividly.

356
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm conjoining it in my mind and it was

357
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: a little bit further apart, but it happened very quickly,

358
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: it felt like, and I was just like sad because

359
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: I was like, these are our whole wide receiving corps gone.

360
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: But Robert Woods, to me is he's one of the

361
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: like the Rams, put them in your Hall of your

362
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: your Ring of Honors or anything like that. But Marcus,

363
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: you know the MLB Hall of Fame rules, Like his

364
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: first year on the ballot, I think would be his

365
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: only year on the ballot.

366
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: I don't think I.

367
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: Remember having Robert Woods and stuff, and then it kind

368
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: of that's it.

369
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I do remember though that when you when both

370
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: he and Watkins first got there. It might have been

371
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: a it was a Thursday night game or something. I

372
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: just remember Jared Goff like hitting big plays to both

373
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: of those guys. And I think I tweeted a joke

374
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: about like Tyrod Taylor sitting in Buffalo being like, what

375
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: the hell.

376
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: Man, here's one crazy thing for you that I just

377
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: looked up. Well, Robert Woods, Cooper cup Pooka Nakula each

378
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: only have two thousand yard seasons under their belt. I

379
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 2: was a little shocked by that.

380
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: Wow, Pookah, I feel like we'll he's gonna have a

381
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: lot more. You'll have a few more.

382
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: By injuries, would injuries as well, like Brandon Cook's injuries,

383
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 3: Like that was the year all three of them were

384
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 3: supposed to have a thousand yards and the Cup. If

385
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: he didn't get hurt, he was on pase Like we

386
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 3: would have three wide receivers with a thousand yards in

387
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 3: any single season.

388
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: Amazing. That would have been amazing for sure. Speaking of

389
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers, this guy very much more likely to get

390
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame. Mike Evans says he wants

391
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: to come back for twenty twenty six, but his agent

392
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: he's going to explore free agency.

393
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 5: Wow, you know, I don't believe it.

394
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we've all said on this show,

395
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: like it just feels like Mike Evans is a buck

396
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: for life right then seeing him in another uniform would

397
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: make my brain itch. Like, I don't really know how

398
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: to explain it. Either of you have a good immediate

399
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: fantasy fait. We'll talk more wide receivers a little bit,

400
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: but just off the top of your head. Do you

401
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: have a good fantasy fit, because I have one that

402
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: I think would be interesting. Ravings we're gonna send him

403
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: to the retirement home already. I think he's got more

404
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: jews the.

405
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: Bill to copy what everyone is saying and in football

406
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: media right now, like any wide receiver, it's like, you

407
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: know they'd be good in Buffalo. I think Tennessee is

408
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: a but I don't want to. I think he's going

409
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: to go to the contender if he leaves Tampa Bay,

410
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: just go to the Chiefs, like anywhere that has a

411
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: quarterback that is willing to throw into tight windows, because

412
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: I don't think Evans is a separator. He was early

413
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 2: in his career, but he's still one of the best

414
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: contested catch wide receivers in the league. So somewhere like that,

415
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: I think with a veteran quarterback, kind of like DeVante

416
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: right Like we had questions about DeVante after his jet stint,

417
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: like is is it starting to become the end? And

418
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 2: then you put him with a veteran quarterback like Stafford

419
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 2: in a good offensive system, and he's rejuvenated. I think

420
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 2: Evans in the right fit could have a bounce back year,

421
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: kind of like Davante I even don't think it's a

422
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: bounce back like he was great when he was out there.

423
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: He was just hurt for much of the year.

424
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: I got one. It doesn't quite fit your criteria. And

425
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: if there are any if there are any Bucks fans

426
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: out there who who live like kwand does, they're gonna

427
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: be mad. But what about Carolina. Pair him up with

428
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Tech McMillan, give Bryce Young a big target to throw to.

429
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: He can't do that.

430
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be sort of disrespectful. This would

431
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: be disrespectful because this is free agency. This isn't like

432
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: the Bucks cut him and said be on your way,

433
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: like this is just a But I'm just talking about

434
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: it just in terms of just what it could be like.

435
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: Put him with Tech mc millan. I think we've seen,

436
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: you know, like lexavierly get like that's it's whatever, you know,

437
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: like Jalen Coker is a free agent. I know you said,

438
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: Nakon you were in on Jatavian Sanders, but like, yes,

439
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean.

440
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,959
Speaker 5: That's my that's my forever crush. I can't let him go.

441
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: But like Mike Evans with the Panthers, that might be

442
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: kind of wild, yo.

443
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 5: I mean, I would love to see it.

444
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 4: But it's like, don't give him the price.

445
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean from a loyalty standpoint, that sucks, right, Like,

446
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, you just lost to the division, the division

447
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: to them, you know, don't pull a KD.

448
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 4: Yeah and forever.

449
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, Katie did not deny that that

450
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: was his burner. I'm just saying he is not there

451
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: to talk about it. They asked if that was his burner.

452
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: He didn't say. No. That's that's what That's what I'm

453
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: taking away from That's what I'm taking away from it. Oh,

454
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: all right, we'll start to get into free agency a

455
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: little bit. We'll go kind of position by position, just

456
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: some names that are interesting and uh, you know what,

457
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: we think m could happen potentially with some guys, but

458
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: just the beginning of what should be interesting the next

459
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: few weeks as we head to the new league year.

460
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: That's coming up next as I take a big swallow

461
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: here on the NFL Fantasy Football podcast back here, and

462
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 1: free agency just a few weeks away. It's coming quick man,

463
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: Like we're almost we're about to be in the last

464
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: week of February, like already crazy crazy, uh nearly two

465
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: months into the year already, so free agency right around

466
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: the corner here. Kind of put down a loose list,

467
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: just a very quick draft list of some of the

468
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: guys that are out there. But I want to start

469
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: with the franchise tag because that obviously will determine who

470
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: is and who is not available. Judie Batista did a

471
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: quick primer. She listed seven guys to keep an eye on,

472
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: and five of them are offensive players. The one she

473
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: mentioned George Pickens, Daniel Jones, Kenneth Walker, the third of

474
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl MVP Award, Kyle Pitts, and Breist Hall fellas.

475
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: I would expect Daniel Jones is not going anywhere, right, Like, yeah,

476
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: he's right. I can't imagine that culture letting him go.

477
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: We sort of talked about George Pickens. I guess we're

478
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: assuming he gets tagged. The quick question is do they

479
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: trade him or do they just tag him and hold

480
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: on to him?

481
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 4: Tag and trade is crazy.

482
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: At this point.

483
00:22:52,240 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 6: Do you put anything by Jerry Jones? No, Yeah, Farces

484
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 6: is against the green move like that. I didn't see

485
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 6: that happening. But like Pickens helps Dak, he helps the

486
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 6: offense be able to get over that hump. You just

487
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 6: need to work on the defense. But tagging him in

488
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 6: then trading him just does not make sense to me.

489
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: All right, So of the guys here though, Pickens, Jones, Kada, Pits, Breese,

490
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: is there anybody Floya you would like most to see

491
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: it free agency? Somebody that just needs to get out

492
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: from where they.

493
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 2: Are Breeze Hall, right, Like, I think we all know

494
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 2: what bres Hall can be.

495
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: Uh.

496
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: He had his first thousand yard season this past year.

497
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 2: He's hit three hundred and fifty or more receiving yards

498
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: in each of the last three years. The touchdowns have

499
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: been very limited, and even like watching Breese Hall this year,

500
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: like he had one game late in the year, I

501
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 2: forget who it was against where he finished with like

502
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty yards and sixty five of them

503
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 2: came on like a last second touchdown run that he

504
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: just broke out and while the Jets were blown out.

505
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 2: Like imagine if Brees Hall was on a team that

506
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: played competitive games and had positive game script like he

507
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: he could be top ten, top five fantasy running back,

508
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: I think, But the Jets have continued to limit his ceiling.

509
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: His floor was way lower than you would like it

510
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: to be most games because of the Jets. So yeah,

511
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: and I know they're saying they might tag him like

512
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: he doesn't. He has made it very clear. I think

513
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: that he does not want to be there, So just

514
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: just pull the band aid off let him go. I

515
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: get it. You're like going all in if you're Aaron

516
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: Glenn and stuff, because this is your last chance probably

517
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: this season. But like for fantasy, for Breeze, for everyone

518
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: else outside of Jets and their fans, it is advantageous if.

519
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 5: They let him play elsewhere in twenty twenty six.

520
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you go all in if you're

521
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: the Jets right now like you have you don't have?

522
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: You have enough pieces to go all in, especially the

523
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: division that you play in, right I mean, you have

524
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: the reigning AFC champion, You've got the buffer, the Bills,

525
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: who you know, until last year had the division on

526
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: lock for Hanvil, Like, you're not going all in on anything,

527
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: are you? No?

528
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: How can you having a star running back on a

529
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: team like the Jets, Marcus is like when a last

530
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: place baseball team has an all star closer, It's like

531
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: that they're not doing you any dude, Like Movie.

532
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: Understaid that dude, it's literally it's it's you know, I

533
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: don't know it's putting rims on a prius, like what

534
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: not even like an old prius.

535
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: I've seen that.

536
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 5: I've seen that.

537
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 4: I've seen ms on the prius.

538
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 2: It never looks good.

539
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: Great, you know what. I as soon as I said it,

540
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I shouldn't be surprised. Somebody out

541
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: there is probably put.

542
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 5: Rims on eating of breeze Hall real quick.

543
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 2: He did tweet out the top his top five favorite

544
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 2: movie franchises.

545
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 5: Okay, number two is Star Wars Marcus.

546
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: Number two, all right, I mean that's what's number one,

547
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: Harry Potter.

548
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: It's Fast and the Fierce on there. So it's three

549
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: is Rocky and Creed, he says. Then four's Dressic Park.

550
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: Five is James Bond Lorial Film Festival, and then honorable

551
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: mention Fast and the Furious. I wanted that in the top.

552
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 5: Five, but it's hard to knock out any of his

553
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 5: other ones.

554
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: I probably would have took off Drastic Park because Drastic

555
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: Fork one, I agree in three were.

556
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: Good to me, and that's it, and then new ones

557
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 4: aren't great.

558
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: It's jumped the shark, It's jumped. It's jump the prehistoric

559
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 1: giant Sabertooth shark or whatever.

560
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: The only thing that could stop dinosaurs is family though, so.

561
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 5: Yo, there's dinosaurs in the next movie.

562
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: Probably honestly like it.

563
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure that I keep the Rocky franchise

564
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: in there.

565
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 5: I mean, now, you gotta keep Rocky in there.

566
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: Man.

567
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 4: I do love the Rocky movie right now in multiple generations.

568
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: I love Michael B.

569
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: Jordan, But basically Creed is just Rocky and Black.

570
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: And Greek three is Rocky four remade.

571
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: It's just Rocky and Black, man, It's just He's just

572
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: we just we just took a follow kids, Paul Creed's kid.

573
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: We just did the whole thing all over again. Like

574
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's entertaining, but let let's not make sure

575
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: it's not breaking any new ground here.

576
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: And you know what, I enjoyed it.

577
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 5: That's as Huxtable as his mom, Like, come on.

578
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: You gotta like it. Look, man, for kids of a

579
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: certain age, Claire Huxable, there's always like a Crushrockler.

580
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 2: How could you not? How could you do not?

581
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: How could you not?

582
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 2: Uh?

583
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: Anyway, does Kyle pits leave?

584
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: Look?

585
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: Do you think they tagged Kyle Pitts does?

586
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

587
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 3: This seems like a lot to be tagging because like

588
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: Kyle Aljier, he's probably on the move. So I feel

589
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: like they'll have that tag available for Pitts because he

590
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: has to stay as part of the piece of that Ofphin,

591
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: especially if you're going to be having these questions about Panics.

592
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 3: He needs as much weapons as possible at this point,

593
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 3: so I think that's more so of understanding like Pitts

594
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: has to stay at all.

595
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: Calls, so I think that will happen most likely walk.

596
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: Where he's gonna say he's gonna stay in New England.

597
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: Ew New England is. I wasn't gonna say them, but

598
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 2: they do make sense there. I do think Atlanta also

599
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: makes some sense. But like the Commanders Denver, and then

600
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: I got two sneaky ones okay, the forty nine Ers

601
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs, depending on what happens to Travis Kelcey

602
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: if he hangs them up, well.

603
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 3: Travis seems like he's playing, I mean the last and

604
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 3: recently he feels like he's playing. So I think, don't

605
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: give them Kyle Pitts and he's gonna be sitting behind

606
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 3: a farewell tour like no man.

607
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: I think I think Pitt's at right now. Kyle Pits

608
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: is better than than Travis Kelcey. At this moment, he's

609
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: better than than Travis Kelcey.

610
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 5: But I do think they would They wouldn't get take

611
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 5: Kelsey out.

612
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 4: They would honor. They would honored Kelsey. They will give

613
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 4: him this.

614
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: Farewell he's getting in May. Maybe he decides like, hey,

615
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: I don't need to I'm married to a billionaire. Now,

616
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't like your health.

617
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't need to, you know, get wrecked every couple

618
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: of weeks. Because it's like, I've won multiple Super Bowls,

619
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: I've achieved pretty much everything I can achieve on a

620
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: football field.

621
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: How about Pits in Tennessee. I would like that, interesting,

622
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: Chicka Kokoo, he's a freight free agent gunner Helmer is

623
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 3: a rookie going to his second year. The Pitts would

624
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: be a nice plug and play interesting in the universe.

625
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: We will put that in the universe. We're gonna talk

626
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: about tight ends just a little bit. So let's get

627
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: to the quarterbacks right now. In the free agent list,

628
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: I kind of split.

629
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: Him up Intoo like the notable names and sort of

630
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: the others quarterback h it's kind of bleak. Daniel Jones

631
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: maybe at the top of the list, but we all

632
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: sort of suspect he's going to get the franchise tag,

633
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: so he may be out of play. Aaron Rodgers, who

634
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: is making noises about coming back for another year. The

635
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: other notable name is Marcus Mariota, And like when I

636
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: say notable, I might be stretching the definition a little bit,

637
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: but Mark's Mariota, Carson Wentz and Florio's early offseason favorite

638
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. Some of the other names of notes Russell Wilson,

639
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, Joe Flacco if he decides to come back,

640
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: and the Quand's favorite backup quarterback James Richard Garoppolo. Never so,

641
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you've had You've had several opportunities to do this,

642
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: but I will let you again, Florio Lake Willis has

643
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: to be the most interesting name here right amongst all

644
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: these guys.

645
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: I'll raise it a higher one for me personally, Malik

646
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: Willis is the player I am most invested in heading

647
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: into free agentcy like I because like Breze Hall, you know,

648
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: like he's going to be good for fantasy. It's just

649
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: a matter of how much, right. But as long as

650
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: Malik Willis ends up anywhere, that gives him a chance

651
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: to start. I'm going to be very bullish on him

652
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: in fantasy over and I apologize if you're gonna be

653
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: watching the insiders later.

654
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 5: I'm talking Malik Willis. You're gonna hear of this again.

655
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: But over the last two seasons, small sample size, I

656
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 2: get it, But if quarterbacks who threw eighty or more passes,

657
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: he led them in passer rating, completion percentage EPA per dropback,

658
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: and success rate. And in half of those eight games

659
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: he scored a touch a rushing touchdown, or he scored

660
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 2: four rushing touchdowns in those eight games, and he averaged

661
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: forty rushing yards per game. Like, there's a reason why

662
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: Justin Fields, even when he was terrible last year, had

663
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: some really big spike weeks in fantasy. There's a reason why,

664
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: like Kyler Murray has always been a better fantasy than

665
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: real life quarterback Anthony Richardson fits any quarterback that can

666
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: run Tyron going back years right, Like any quarterback who's

667
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: ever been able to run is a cheat code in fantasy.

668
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: And Malik Willis clearly can run. He's got a cannon

669
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: for an arm, and in recent ye he he went

670
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: from an absolute project that like slid in the draft

671
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: to a highly efficient, downfield throwing quarterback, a one that

672
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: is going to take what the defense gives him. Like

673
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: the progress he has made in a short time to

674
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: me is off the charts. I think Arizona makes a

675
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 2: lot of sense because of the laflor connection.

676
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 5: I know it's not the same Lafloor, but it's his brother.

677
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: But to me, any if he becomes a starting quarterback,

678
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: he is someone that I am going to bang the

679
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: table for all summer and.

680
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 5: Draft a bunch in fantasy.

681
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: No worries that he's only made six starts in four seasons.

682
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: It's a little concerning, Like, but he's going to run

683
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: right like I He's not a quarterback that I would

684
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: take and be like set it and forget it. He's

685
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: my only quarterback. But I would probably treat him a

686
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: lot like I did justin fields last year, where like

687
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm willing to pull him up the board a bit

688
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: for the upside, and then I'll take one of these

689
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: safe because we were talking last week about right, like

690
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: how quarterback when after you get past a certain number,

691
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: there's a lot of similar options. I'll just take a

692
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: second one from there that I feel give me Justin

693
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: Herbert or like last year Stafford was in that range,

694
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: like you could find options you feel good about starting

695
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: and just pair him with the upside of Malik Willis.

696
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: I saw some.

697
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: Chatter, you know, obviously, look this is a time for speculation, right,

698
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: But Frank Reich is now the offensive coordinator of the

699
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Frank Reich has some history with Carson Wentz. Lukwan.

700
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: Could a guy like Carson Wentz or maybe a Marcus

701
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: Mariota land in green and ended up being a starting

702
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: quarterback this year because I don't really know what the

703
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: Jets are gonna do, Like, is it possible we see

704
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: one of these sort of retread guys as the starter

705
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: in New York for a week one?

706
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 4: Well, I can probably see Mariota.

707
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: I can flirt with the idea of wins, but he's

708
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: coming off an injury, and it's like, I don't know

709
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: if Wench still has that starting quarterback caliber in him

710
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 3: to be leading the Jet to victory. I mean, the

711
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: Jets are rumored to be releasing Justin Fields, so it's

712
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: one of those things where like they're gonna be left

713
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 3: with the bag, and it's like it's one of those

714
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 3: things they have money to spend. But then it's like

715
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: this is what's left, Like the others column that you

716
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 3: have here on the rundown, this is you should all retire.

717
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: But I can honestly see them picking one of these

718
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 3: guys to just keep them afloat unless they paid the

719
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 3: bag to Florio's guy. The league willis where again I

720
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 3: can kind of picture and paint that picture where I

721
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 3: can see him in green in New York.

722
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: But these aren't great. These are not great situations.

723
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 4: Like I just feel like the Jets are.

724
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: Gonna Jet goes to the Jets? Are you are you out?

725
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: Then? I mean I was in on Justin Fields. I

726
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 2: would be still be in, but I would be a

727
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 2: little bit less excited.

728
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: And also you're talking about like the Jets having money

729
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: to spend, like at what point though, Like I don't know,

730
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that's a plus.

731
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: Necessarily because they don't know how to spend it.

732
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: They don't know how to spend it, right, it's the

733
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: drill tweet help my family is dying right, like.

734
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 3: I think it was though, like they drafted well, like

735
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 3: we all go back to that saw from Breis Hall

736
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 3: year when they drafted.

737
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 5: Like you know, they smashed the draft, they killed it,

738
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 5: and then they did nothing with it. And now they're

739
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 5: guys are banging on the door, let me out free.

740
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 3: It's like they have the money to spend on a

741
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: Milik Willis, but they also don't have many options of

742
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 3: guys that we have on this list that give them

743
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 3: the competitive upside. As much as Emlie Willis as bad

744
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 3: as bad as I don't want him to go there,

745
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 3: I think that's the only move that I can see

746
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: where they could be upside for them to be competitive, because.

747
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 4: It ain't Flacco, it ain't Mariota, it ain't once.

748
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: He's got to want to go there too, though, why

749
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 2: not you get a starting job, you get, you get

750
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: an opportunity. I think he can't sit here and try

751
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: to pick and choose with six stars. I actually think

752
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: he's going to get to pick which starting job he wants.

753
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: Like I think of all these names, Daniel Jones is

754
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 2: going to the Colts Rogers, sounds like he's going back

755
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh after that, I think teams would give Malik

756
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: Willis a chance over like a Russell Wilson or any

757
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: of these.

758
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 5: That's maybe I'm reading it completely wrong, But that's been

759
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 5: my thinking.

760
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong. He's younger. He probably he's

761
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna come a little bit cheaper. These other guys same

762
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: same contract as Justin Fields. Probably, Yeah, I mean, I

763
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: don't think that's a ridiculous idea.

764
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: If you're Milik Willis, you saw what just happened with

765
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: Justin Fields and and not just like those struggles, right

766
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 2: like the owner throwing him under the bus and saying,

767
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: if our quarterback could complete a pass, we would be better.

768
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: You want to go now tie your because this could

769
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: be Milik Willis's only shot, right, Like, you want to

770
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 2: go tie yourself to that franchise. I I really think

771
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: the Cardinals. The more I think about it, the more

772
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's one that I could really see him.

773
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: But then they got they got a couple of weeks

774
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: to figure out Kyler because his twenty twenty seven roster,

775
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 3: I mean, his base salary will be games.

776
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 5: Team to me, like he's going to be gone.

777
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: That was that was also the other part of this, right,

778
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: like I didn't include Kyler murray or to a tongue

779
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: of Iloa, technically they are not free agents at this point.

780
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: They are under contract to their respective teams. We're all

781
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: expecting that they're not going to be with their teams

782
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: once free agency starts, but for now they have homes,

783
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: so I did not include them in this list. Over

784
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, some of the notables I put Tyreek

785
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: Hial but with a big asterisk because, as you and

786
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: I talked about on Tuesday, Lakwan, it seems very unlikely

787
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: that he plays at all or certainly not any meaningful

788
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: snaps this year. Mike Evans, who now has sort of

789
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: declared he is putting himself out there on the market.

790
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: George Pickens, who again we think is going to get

791
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: tagged but is hitting free agency. Christian Kirk, Alec Pierce, Deebo,

792
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: Samuel or Shik Shihi, Juwan Jennings, Marquise Brown, Keenan Allen,

793
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: who I have personally said, I think it's just going

794
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: to retire, but maybe he comes back, who knows, Romeo Dobbs,

795
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 1: Wondale wash Wandale Robinson, and then some of the others,

796
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, marcz Valdez, Scantling and Jalen Cocher. Obviously, Evans

797
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: and Pickens seem like the top two names on this list,

798
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: But LQ, who's the most interesting name after that?

799
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 4: Alec Pierce.

800
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 3: I mean, Alex Pierce should be a plug and play

801
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 3: for multiple teams right now that needs a deep threat,

802
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 3: a guy that stretched field. Then this past season, we've

803
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 3: seen this guy can hit a thousand yards on eighty

804
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 3: five targets, you know what I mean, Like he's one

805
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 3: of those guys that can make up for that yards

806
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 3: per perception to get you know, the offense going. Like

807
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 3: I want him in LA to be honest, like we

808
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: didn't use too too at well. I know folks out

809
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 3: there saying like, oh, you guys haven't used you know,

810
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: three wide receivers in a long time.

811
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 5: How many receivers do you need? Yeah, we need them all.

812
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 5: We got to get back to the big days.

813
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: Brother.

814
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 5: But I would say this like him in Buffalo, I

815
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 5: mean I wouldn't hate it. I mean in Tennessee, like.

816
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 3: There's more multiple areas, so like plug and play that

817
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: Alvi Peers is probably one of the hottest free agents

818
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 3: right now.

819
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 5: Like it will be cool to see him back in Indy.

820
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 5: But again it's the quarterback.

821
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 2: Why because situation not even that one. I think he's

822
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: gonna get paid a lot more money than people are anticipating.

823
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 5: And because I do agree, he was my answer to

824
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 5: the question as well.

825
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 4: He's about to get a Christian Kirk contract.

826
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: I think the.

827
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 2: Colts should like have used him more as their wide

828
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: receiver one, like I know they used him kind of

829
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 2: only as a downfield guy, but I think he's got

830
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 2: more in his bag than that. So I kind of

831
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: want to see him go somewhere where he can become

832
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 2: to know. And you said the Bills and Titans, those

833
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 2: were the two ideal spots that came to mind for

834
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: me for him, But in either shot, he's got the

835
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: chance to be the alpha wide receiver one and I

836
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: think he can be that. Maybe he can't, and maybe

837
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 2: the Colts are right and they know more than me,

838
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 2: but just as someone who watches a lot of Alec Pierce,

839
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: it felt like they were like he was their fourth

840
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 2: highest targeted player last year like that that shouldn't be

841
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 2: in my opinion, and cracked a thousand yards Like I

842
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: feel like there's more to his game, like you said,

843
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 2: and it's like he needs the right situation.

844
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 5: I wouldn't put New York out of it, you know,

845
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 5: the Giants like they like, I look at Alec.

846
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 3: Pierce as like one of the hottest guys at the

847
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 3: top of the list that needs to get it back.

848
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 3: But if he was to go back to Indy, right, Like,

849
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 3: then what are they doing with Pittman Because it seems

850
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 3: like they've kind of washed your hands with Pittman at

851
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 3: this point with the injuries and the lack of playing consistency.

852
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 4: Like he would essentially be their run if it's Riley

853
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 4: Reid or Daniel Jones.

854
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 5: So if they move on from Pittman, I'm cool with

855
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 5: him going back to Indy. Yeah, That's that was more

856
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 5: of the angle that I was gonna take with him,

857
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 5: because like he he could be.

858
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 3: Like I remember when Matt Ryan was there reading camp

859
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 3: reports that he was out there cutting it up, like

860
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 3: he was out there killing it, and like we're like, wait.

861
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 4: Are you sure that this guy?

862
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, because Piers could really play.

863
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: Pierce could play. I question if he's actually a wide

864
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: receiver one. I mean he's and it's the it's the

865
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: starting pitcher, the number one picture versus the ace. Right,

866
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: I think he can be maybe the top target in.

867
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 5: An office different languages.

868
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: Again, I still have I still have questions about that right,

869
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: Like I don't explain to me in soccer, Marcus, are

870
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: you are you a midfielder? Are you a ten? I'm

871
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: a midfielder, but like, are you at?

872
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: Are you at?

873
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: Like you know, like MESSI is a ten? You know

874
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like right, a ten, A nine, A seven?

875
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right?

876
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: But like are you that dude? Are you just like

877
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: are you just a jersey? Yeah? You know what I'm saying,

878
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: Like yes, it's like, okay, I get it. It's like that,

879
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

880
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: So I think it could be a fantasy wide receiver one.

881
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 5: If you put him in Buffalo, hmmm, I.

882
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: Would arrange him as that. I'd have him as a two.

883
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 5: But I do think that would be his ceiling. But

884
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 5: is Joe Brady gonna throw downfield?

885
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 2: The rumors that I've heard from talking to people and

886
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: just like Brady kind of insinuated, was that Sean mc

887
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: dermott had a lot more to say about the offense

888
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: week to week than uh. Then Brady then like was

889
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: kind of led on, and he did in his press

890
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 2: conference be like, we want to air it out more.

891
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 2: So we'll see if he can do that. But I

892
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 2: don't think they've had the personnel that could be a

893
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: field stretcher, whereas Alec Peters is tried and true and

894
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: we know.

895
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: He can be that.

896
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he more than that.

897
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. For Romeo Dobbs, I do really.

898
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: Like Romeo Dobbs in this class as well. I think

899
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: he's another one that people might be surprised that he's

900
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: I expect him to have a pretty bullish market this

901
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: free agency.

902
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 4: Get him to New Orleans.

903
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 3: Get him to New Orleans, plautside from Lave because the

904
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 3: thing is they won't have to drop such a big

905
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 3: bag on him because again he'll be acting as the

906
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 3: one b right because he will be with.

907
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 4: Chrystal Lovey and Jawan Johnson, Tyler Schunck looks great.

908
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 5: That's my guy now. I know I was talking bad

909
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 5: about him the first couple.

910
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 4: Of weeks, but that is my guy right now.

911
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 5: And I know that people down here love them as well.

912
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 3: Just I just feel like Romeo Dobbs in New Orleans

913
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 3: that will help that step forward for Shuck in that offense.

914
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 3: Because again, I'd watch more Saints games this past season

915
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 3: than I've ever had, you know, in my entire life,

916
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, and watching them they're scrappy team, and

917
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 3: I think they're just one year away from actually competing

918
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 3: in in that division.

919
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the division's wide open, right there's no there's

920
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: no dominant team in that division.

921
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 4: So I feel like it's been wide open. It's just

922
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 4: like two thousand dollars.

923
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: It's been like this for a while.

924
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 2: Now it's Tennessee.

925
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: It's been like this for a.

926
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 2: While, Tennessee. How you champion for the Saints. The Titans

927
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 2: are that team for me, Like, I I'm going to

928
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 2: be like an honorary Titans fan this year. I like

929
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 2: it Like the Patriots last year. I know, I kind

930
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: of hate them because I'm a Bills for him, but

931
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 2: I was, like, I was very high on them coming

932
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: into the year.

933
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 5: I feel like the Titans have a chance to be

934
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 5: that team this year.

935
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 3: Would Daboll use him like a Darius Slayton, Like is

936
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 3: that where you're kind of painting that fit?

937
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,959
Speaker 2: Like he would be just one right? Like, I don't

938
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: no disrespect to those rookies from last year. I think

939
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: they're very solid pieces. I don't think they have a

940
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 2: top target on their team right now. And I think Dobbs.

941
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: And he's hurt, I don't know, man, we got to

942
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: stop trying to make fetch happen with Calvin Ridley. It

943
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: is what it is at this point. And I think

944
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: in defense of I think you're right about Iomanner and DK,

945
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: but in their defense too, they're also Day three picks,

946
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

947
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 5: So they're not supposed to be a one you know,

948
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 5: like the solid players, right, And.

949
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: I think I think so far, I mean through one year,

950
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: I think they have lived up to what the expectations

951
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: of them should be for based on where they were drafted.

952
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: For sure. So Romeo Dobbs could be an interesting fit.

953
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: I do like New Orleans, but I do Team Tennessee

954
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: is interesting. I'm very curious what the Titans do because

955
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: I like what I saw out of cam Ward. I

956
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: just I just needed to be so that like every

957
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: passing down isn't him like you know, drop back, scrambled

958
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: out of the pocket and then just heave the ball downfield.

959
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: Like I need to be able to have more uh

960
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: to do that.

961
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 5: So I see you highlighting a name in there, Marcus.

962
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, that was that I just clicked on accident.

963
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 2: I want to talk about your boy, Jawan.

964
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 1: No, James is a nice piece. He's a complimentary player.

965
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 5: I think he thinks he's a one.

966
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think he overvalued himself this past

967
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: year a little bit. But yeah, but no, I didn't.

968
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to highlight that. That was a that

969
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: was me fat fingering it.

970
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 2: He's a good like secondary option in class, I think, right, secondary,

971
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 2: I think one one in New England.

972
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these guys are sort of

973
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: secondary options, right. They're nice, complimentary pieces. Aside from Mike

974
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: Evans and George Pickens, I think a lot of these

975
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 1: guys are sort of secondary options and could be impactful

976
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: in the right situation, but they're not game changers at

977
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: any point. All right, take a break, come back, talk

978
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: to some well running backs and tight ends. That's next

979
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, a little bit of

980
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: a free agency primer, talking about some of the interesting

981
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: names out there. Of course, as we get closer to

982
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: the start of free agency, we'll kind of go a

983
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: little more in depth on some of these things, and

984
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: the obviously once guys starts signing in the the what

985
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: is it, the the legal legal Yeah, yea. I think

986
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: our bosses don't like us using the T word. But

987
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: that's basically what it is. I mean, I can start

988
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: talking to guys before the actual signing period starts, like

989
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: what else am I going to say about it? Then

990
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: that's what it is. If you want them to start

991
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: talking about it before, then just open the thing before then.

992
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 2: Anyway, Hey, just look at what the NBA does, right,

993
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 2: They're actively recruiting players while those season is still going on.

994
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: Ya, the NBA is the wildest is when it comes

995
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: to player movement. Man, like the NBA, I hear the

996
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: NBA is sort of like Game of Thrones in the

997
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: sense of I got some point a Game of Thrones,

998
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: like everybody was fair game to die pretty much, and

999
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: like that's the NBA, Like everybody's fair game to get

1000
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: traded or go to another team, to the point that

1001
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: it's it's like you're desensitized to it.

1002
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: There's like five players maybe that that like Jokic, Sga, Luca,

1003
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 2: even Luca got traded, like.

1004
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: And so that would KD be a little Finger then

1005
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: probably well for little Finger, I'm just you.

1006
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 2: Haven't seen Game of Thrones, o Q No, I told

1007
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 2: you that's a blind spot.

1008
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 3: It was literally parallel to The Walking Dead so like

1009
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 3: we were Walking Dead and then.

1010
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 2: You should watch it and then A Night of the

1011
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: Seventh Kingdom if you guys haven't watched it yet, it

1012
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 2: is amazing.

1013
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just you know the whole I know, they

1014
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: just put out the new trailer for House of Dragon

1015
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 1: and like just because that has so been so underwhelming.

1016
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 2: It's I haven't even finished a House of a Dragon

1017
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 2: House of Dragons, right, I might not, but I highly

1018
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 2: recommend this one.

1019
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 5: It's back to prime Game of Thrones in my opinion.

1020
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: All right, I'll check it out. Running backs. Some of

1021
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: the notables out there now, she Harris, Austin Eckler I

1022
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: put with an asterisk because I have a sad feeling

1023
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: that we may have seen the last of Austin Eckler. There,

1024
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: Travis et and Javonte Williams, Rico Doubtell, Breis Hall, who

1025
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: we talked about, Kenneth Walker, the third who I suspect

1026
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: is gonna get tagged and not leaving Seattle. JK. Dobbins,

1027
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: some of the other names out there, Nick Chubb, Kenneth

1028
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: Gainwell who had a nice run for Fantasy. But I

1029
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: don't I don't know that the rest of the NFL

1030
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: is going to value him quite like that. A Rashad White,

1031
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco floora the most interesting name out of that

1032
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: group for you.

1033
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 2: So I think it's Breece Hall, but we've already talked

1034
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 2: about him, Kenneth Walker if he becomes like I just

1035
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 2: want Kenneth Walker to go somewhere where they let him

1036
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: be a one, right like unquestioned you, we're gonna give

1037
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: you the bulk of carries. But like you said, he's

1038
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 2: a big franchise candidate, etn. We're going to talk about

1039
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 2: him in a second. He's another very interesting one. But

1040
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 2: other than that, I do think Kenneth Gainwell is kind

1041
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 2: of interesting because I agree with you, Marcus, I don't

1042
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 2: think he's gonna get paid like a one or anything

1043
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: like that. But he could be a legit weapon as

1044
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: we have seen wherever he goes. Like he's not a

1045
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 2: great runner, We've like he's kind of just what he

1046
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 2: is in that regard and that's kind of been established.

1047
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 2: Although he was more explosive last year, but he is

1048
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: a legit weapon out of the backfield as a pass catcher.

1049
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 2: So curio, if he goes to a team, I'm trying

1050
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 2: to think of it like like the Chiefs from a

1051
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: year ago, right where they had like plotters, but they

1052
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 2: didn't really have anyone who could be dynamic in the

1053
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 2: passing game, like somewhere like that. I think he could

1054
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 2: be a cheap signing that greatly outlives the amount of

1055
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 2: money he gets paid.

1056
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's I think that's absolutely fair.

1057
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: The name that I stuck on here was traves Etn

1058
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: just because I don't know, it feels like the Jaguars

1059
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: don't love him, like yeah, and I don't really understand why.

1060
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: I think he's performed well for them, but it always

1061
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: feels like they're trying to bring somebody else in right

1062
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: to take take opportunities. I think they've never truly unlocked

1063
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: his past catching ability the way that it was in college.

1064
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I want better for traves Etn.

1065
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 4: Well, like I hadn't.

1066
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 3: Talked to me O'Brien, she's a beat writer for the

1067
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 3: Jacksonville Jaguars, and speaking to her over summer, they were

1068
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 3: saying that, you know, they lovedj they loved Travis there,

1069
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 3: and I think that you know, he's a good locker

1070
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 3: room presence, but like you said, I don't know if

1071
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 3: Liam Cohen loves him as much as the locker room

1072
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 3: or us love him in Jacksonville. So I honestly think

1073
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 3: there could be a slim chance and opportunity for him

1074
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 3: that spread his wings and find a place that appreciates

1075
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 3: him as a one because he just had an amazing season.

1076
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 3: Like I just feel like, you know, if they're gonna

1077
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 3: move on and look to two, and I think they're

1078
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: gonna have to be filling some holes. So if he

1079
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 3: does stay, they're gonna have to pay him a big

1080
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 3: back because, like I think his market is a lot

1081
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 3: bigger than we expect too.

1082
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,919
Speaker 1: He's run for eleven or run for a thousand yards

1083
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: in three or four seasons. He's had two seasons with

1084
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: double digit total touchdowns. He's had you know, at least

1085
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: thirty five catches in every season, and that's again kind

1086
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: of with limited use in the past. Yeah, I think

1087
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: he can do more than that. I think he can

1088
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: be better than that. It just don't really incorporate that.

1089
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: And like you know, at first, it was first it

1090
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: was take Bigsby, and then there's base shall tooton, and

1091
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: it just seems like every year there's some new guy

1092
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 1: that's coming to try and threaten.

1093
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 5: Don't forget LQ quintin Allen Quinn.

1094
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, but that's the point, right when

1095
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: you keep going through lists of backup running backs that

1096
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: are threatening to knock Travis Etn off the top of

1097
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: the perch, and it's like at some point from him,

1098
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: like I get it. The Jags seemed to be on

1099
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: the rise. They had a great finish to the year.

1100
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: I just you know, I want to feel loved if

1101
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm Travis Etn and I don't know that. I always

1102
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: feel the love in Jacksonville, And I think two and.

1103
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 5: Could play, man Like.

1104
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 2: When the Jags played the Bills in the playoffs, every

1105
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,240
Speaker 2: time that that two And touched the ball, I was afraid,

1106
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 2: right like if it felt like when they weren't giving

1107
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 2: him the ball, it was a win for the Bills.

1108
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: He turned four carries into fifty one yards like he

1109
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 2: was hit home runs. It felt like every time he

1110
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: touched it. So I do think he could play. And

1111
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 2: there's some juice there and he was you know this

1112
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 2: regimes pick whereas Etn was from past regime.

1113
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about what about Travis et into Kansas City?

1114
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 5: I would love that that would make a lot of sense.

1115
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: We keep we keep wanting the Chiefs to get that

1116
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: true dual threat running back. I mean back when we

1117
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: thought Clyde Edwards was going to be that guy.

1118
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, they got to strike this year, right because

1119
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 2: you can't the biggest fantasy fail. You can't rely on

1120
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 2: Mahomes running coming off the ACL whenever he's back, So

1121
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 2: like you need the run your run game to get Like,

1122
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 2: if they have a running game like last year, they're

1123
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 2: gonna be worse than they were last year. Like it's

1124
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 2: because Mahomes was saving them. So I think this is

1125
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 2: the time where the Chiefs are actually but I know

1126
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 2: they can look the cap you could do all this

1127
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 2: jumping jacks and move it right now, but they're in

1128
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 2: a really bad space capwise.

1129
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like you know, I can't imagine they're going

1130
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: to keep ride with Isaiah pa Checko.

1131
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 3: They just restructured, they restructured Mahomes's contract, so they got

1132
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,879
Speaker 3: a little bit of wig over money, but they're still

1133
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 3: thirteen million.

1134
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: Over to camp, So I do they can't let it

1135
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: ride with Kareem Hunt anymore.

1136
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 2: You know, the enemy's so you never know, you never know,

1137
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 2: you know, what's gonna happen. They're going to sign Careem

1138
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 2: Hunt to like a mid league minimum or something like

1139
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 2: that and keep giving him the goal on work and

1140
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 2: it's going to make if it's Etn or whoever they get,

1141
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 2: just gonna be frustrating.

1142
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 4: If it's Breees, you don't. You do not sign cream Line.

1143
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 3: If it's Breese that makes that move they tag in trade,

1144
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 3: which I could see probably happening, but why.

1145
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: Not m Yeah, Yeah, that's interesting because like we didn't

1146
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: really kick around that idea that they could tag tag

1147
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: because want to tag him and I'm pretty sure he's

1148
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: like he doesn't really want to be there.

1149
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 3: So because I think that's the best scenario for him

1150
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 3: anyway though, because you're getting out and you're getting paid

1151
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 3: for one year to prove it wherever you go, then

1152
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 3: that would be that team's problem to extend.

1153
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 2: The Hunt played for one point five million last year, Like,

1154
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 2: if he's ready to run that back again, I don't

1155
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 2: think they shy away from it.

1156
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll do that if that's what he's willing to do.

1157
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 2: The cream Bun was their best to play.

1158
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean, disgusting can't go right, I mean, they just

1159
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: can't do that again this year, but he could be

1160
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: a goal on runner. I think, man, the.

1161
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 3: Way Mahomes is talking, like the word on the street

1162
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: is that he's going to be ready for week one,

1163
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 3: and then again, I highly doubt that, Like, like you said,

1164
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 3: him running. That's what made magic the first half of

1165
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 3: the season, actually all season, him running, And it's like,

1166
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 3: if you're not going to get that, what are you

1167
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 3: going to get out of those offense with no weapons?

1168
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 2: Now I think he could be back week one. We're

1169
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 2: just not going to see him run like he'll get

1170
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: rid of the ball quickly, maybe play out of the gun.

1171
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 5: That's crazy.

1172
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,280
Speaker 4: If he's back week one, Bro, he got different money,

1173
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 4: That's what I mean.

1174
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: That's true.

1175
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 5: We got different money.

1176
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: We already know that much.

1177
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 5: He owns the baseball team.

1178
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, bred and recovery exactly. Finally

1179
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: right this O some side ends. Some of the big

1180
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: names out there, Travis Chelsea, big you shoulder shrug of

1181
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: what he does, David and Joku, Dallas Goddard, Kyle Pitts,

1182
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: some of the other names of notes, Kate aught In,

1183
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: Chika Konkuo, Isaiah Likely, Darren Waller, lqu Are sort of

1184
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: the tight end whisper here on this show, Which name

1185
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: is the most interesting of that group for you?

1186
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: Is it Joku?

1187
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: Is it?

1188
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 5: No, it's actually being Dallas Goddard.

1189
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 3: Like I could see him possibly on the move like

1190
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 3: commanders within division or even the Tampa Bay. I mean,

1191
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 3: this is all teams that I think we'll be able

1192
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 3: to utilize him and get what they can at him.

1193
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 3: But like his time with the Eagles, it's kind of

1194
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 3: just like, all right, well do you have a higher ceiling,

1195
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 3: like do you have anything.

1196
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 4: New that you learned to Saw Seed?

1197
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1198
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 4: I just feel like they have other issues, you know,

1199
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 4: trying to figure out way A. J.

1200
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: Brown as well.

1201
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 3: So if like AJ's on the move, then Dallas states, well,

1202
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 3: I think Dallas Goddard still has something in the tank

1203
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 3: where he can be serviceable. Like I'm not saying he's

1204
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 3: up there in age as zach Ertch, but we saw

1205
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 3: zach Ertz be very famous to be relevant when he

1206
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 3: went to the commander. So I think move with in

1207
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 3: the division as possible. I honestly think that, you know,

1208
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 3: Dallas Goddard and Tampa wouldn't be a bad idea if

1209
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 3: they lose Mike Evans.

1210
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: Hmm. Interesting, especially they lose Mike Evans and Kate Oughten.

1211
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think Kate comes back.

1212
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think.

1213
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 5: That he was Okay, I'm high where Isaiah likely goes.

1214
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: Isa seemed so surprised that the Ravens really seemed locked

1215
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: in with with Mark Andrews, Like that sort of surprised me, right.

1216
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they signed the wrong tight end.

1217
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: Is there's something we don't know about Isaiah Likely? That's

1218
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: the part that I'm wondering.

1219
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 2: He has been very up and down, but like when

1220
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 2: given the when no Mark Andrews is out there, like

1221
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 2: he's stepped up and and I know again like everyone

1222
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 2: paid all that fab in Week one two years ago

1223
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 2: and then he kind of was never that guy again.

1224
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 2: But I can't shake that game out of my head,

1225
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 2: Like I watched him do that and saw him play

1226
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: that well. So, uh, if he goes to a team

1227
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 2: where he could be starting tight end and get consistent volume,

1228
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be really interesting next season.

1229
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that that's that's fair. I do want

1230
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: to see where he goes. Is Darren Waller still going

1231
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: to be a thing in twenty twenty six?

1232
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he could be the way he was this past year,

1233
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 2: like a just absolute red zone monster, and but not

1234
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 2: a whole lot else.

1235
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't think.

1236
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 2: I don't think his body can physically hold up to

1237
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 2: playing like the all of his snaps because even last year,

1238
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 2: like he was playing like forty to fifty percent of

1239
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 2: the snaps a lot of games, but they were picking

1240
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 2: their spots with it.

1241
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sort of the thing is that, Like I

1242
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: guess the part of this though, right we're talking about

1243
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, he was a red zone monster. Will the

1244
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: next version of the Dolphins be in the red zone consistently?

1245
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 5: I don't think it's in Miami.

1246
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 2: I think he's someone else, Okay.

1247
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: Like like, hey man, it's great, you do a lot

1248
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: of work in the red zone.

1249
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 2: Too bad we're never there.

1250
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 3: That that that's that's the catch right there. I do

1251
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 3: think he still has something in the tank because because

1252
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 3: again we were just like Darren Waller, oh yeah, you

1253
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 3: like this music.

1254
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 5: You've downloaded it.

1255
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 2: Didn't you. I've always been a believer in Waller.

1256
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: I will give you credit. You were definitely ahead of

1257
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: the curve on him because I was just like I just.

1258
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 3: Couldn't believe what he was displaying because even beyond the

1259
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 3: red zone, this guy was hitting the field vertically and

1260
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 3: making some great looking passes.

1261
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 5: Like, I don't know, because there's still questions at the quarterback.

1262
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 3: Position in Miami if he does stay, because they want

1263
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 3: him back, Like this is straight from the GM, like

1264
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 3: they want him back and like the door's open for him.

1265
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 3: But like anywhere else, then it's like we're talking about

1266
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 3: a different situation in its own.

1267
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was. He missed six weeks last year due

1268
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 2: to injury in the middle of the season.

1269
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 5: It took him like that on the field.

1270
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 2: That's always going to be a concern with him, right, like.

1271
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Because they tight end too. Who you can stream, who

1272
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: can you can stream when you But.

1273
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 3: He has to go through camp like he needs to

1274
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 3: be signed like as soon as March hits and free agency,

1275
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 3: like he needs to be signed somewhere.

1276
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 5: I don't know if I need all that.

1277
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 2: I legitimately won a league last year with Darren Waller

1278
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 2: because in the semi I think it was the semifinals

1279
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 2: of the first week of the playoffs, he scored two

1280
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 2: touchdowns on Monday Night Football and I won by like

1281
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 2: a point because of that, and then that team went

1282
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 2: to win a championship. So shout out to Darren Waller. Man,

1283
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 2: I'm always gonna have love for the big fella.

1284
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: All right, all right, they're in the baller Waller getting

1285
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: some love from Michael left Florido.

1286
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 2: So, uh, there you go.

1287
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: That was our quick uh free agency primer. I guess

1288
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: if you will. But this is not the last. We'll

1289
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: talk about it. Back next week we'll start kind of

1290
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: diving into individual teams, uh, some of their needs and

1291
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: maybe some names that might work out for them. So

1292
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: in meantime though, that'll do it for this edition of
